Dell printer for your HCPC £9.99

Dell have their 720 colour inkjet printer on special offer for £9.99 including devivery and vat.

Dell 720 offer

There is a small catch, they add a cable for £12.80 on the web site with no apparent way of removing it. This puts the price up to £22.80

If you call up the sales telephone line (0870 907 5818) and insist on only the printer then they will supply it for £9.99.

What a bargain.

There is an option in the printer's "Customise & Buy" section to remove the cable.

You can now remove the printer cable, they must have got fed up with people calling up, lol.

BTW the link needs affiliating if someone knows how to do it.

Yeah, not a bargain as far as I can see from the ink prices, lol , just making people informed that they can remove the cable,

Much better way is to buy a £40 epson and then buy inks for £3 from SVP.

in my opinion

Taz

Normally, I wouldn't touch an inkjet, far too expensive to run.

I use a laser for 99.5% of my printing, but if I need a few colour photos then it will suffice, so for me it is a bargain.

There are plenty of aftermarket retailers selling ink cartridges for the 720 much cheaper than Dell.

For a tenner who cares, it's essentially disposable.

Well i bought one last time they were £10. I think it was a great buy as i only use is occasionally and gives good prints, easy to use, no smearing etc. Hanvt needed to refil or get a new cartrige yet.

What do you expect for £9.99. Nearly all printers come with small size ink cartridges as default. It's to encourage you to buy the full size ones asap.

The small ink cartridges havnt been a problem for me as i dont use the printer that often. It was worth the £10 just for the homebrew lables I printed from it.
